# MCP Yahoo Finance



A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) server for Yahoo Finance interaction. This server provides tools to get pricing, company information and more.
> Please note that `mcp-yahoo-finance` is currently in early development. The functionality and available tools are subject to change and expansion as I continue to develop and improve the server.
## Installation
You don't need to manually install `mcp-yahoo-finance` if you use [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). We'll use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run `mcp-yahoo-finance`.
I would recommend using this method if you simply want to use the MCP server.
### Using pip
Using `pip`.
```sh
pip install mcp-yahoo-finance
```
### Using Git
You can also install the package after cloning the repository to your machine.
```sh
git clone git@github.com:maxscheijen/mcp-yahoo-finance.git
cd mcp-yahoo-finance
uv sync
```
